Multithreaded instruments & shared control<br />
(Jordà 2005)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In traditional instruments the performer is responsible for<br />
controlling every smallest detail, leaving nothing to the instrument<br />
responsibility<br />
One of the best assets of new digital instruments is the possibility<br />
to run several multiple and parallel musical processes in a shared<br />
control between the instrument and the performer<br />
These instruments’ ‘intelligence’ may be partially responsible for<br />
one or more musical processes, the control of which may be<br />
entirely left to the instrument’s responsibility or may be shared in<br />
different ways with the performer<br />
When performers delegate some control to the instrument, their<br />
role is also approaching that of composers, who do have to delegate<br />
control of their work to instrumentalists<br />
